I really like the effect of the blocks moving towards you and slight animation in this effect, this developer seems to be using Mootools, and ideas on how to achieve this or a similar effect in jQuery?

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:

He only animates the margin-left, margin-top, width and height and sets a higher z-index for the block. The shadow is a background image (10px wider and higher than the box without hover). He has a fixed width and height for the boxes.

On hover he enlarges the div by 10px in both dimensions so the shadow background comes visible and also moves the box 10px to top and left.
